I have "day nettle" for 3d, giving me a Y instead of the e of nonce; and had "endear" for 37d, presumably now "enamor", usa for enamour.

re eidolon / pl. eidola

(in other dictionaries)

Cannot see it in Chambers .... which is disappointing.

I wonder which dictionary Didymus uses!

[sarumite]

The Chambers Dictionary (10th edition) does actually show eidolon (pl eidola) ... perhaps it's missing from earlier editions?

[taize]

I have an edition that states -

�This edition first published 2003� � Reprinted 2005�

Cannot find which edition it is .... presumably not the latest!!

[sarumite]

Hi taize ... have been away grasscutting!! :O(

Chambers 10th edition was first published in 2006.
